Step4: follow the arrows from 1 to 5 in the diagram below
Step5: Gtk2 is now installed!!
Thanks to one of our Commentor, (AnonymousJuly 3, 2013 at 5:53 AM) suggested you do the following if your installation fails with this message "The package Gtk2 has already installed a file that package Pango wants to install."
Anyway, in order to successfully install it under (at least) ActiveState Perl 5.16.3 you need to :
Step 1 .. Step 3 : same as shown above
Step 4 : exit PPM GUI
Step 5 : on command line (cmd.exe) enter :
ppm install Gtk2 --force
Step 6 : enjoy !
** I tried this and it works like a charm ** thanks anonymous
can you give me link to download perl package ?
ReplyDeleteGreat work on that how-to ! I was looking for such an information for several days already. One point though : when installing as is it shows "The package Gtk2 has already installed a file that package Pango wants to install." (or any name involved in the dependencies as far as I understood the cause).
ReplyDeleteIt is shown here (http://www.sisyphusion.tk/faq.html) that :
" 3. Why do I need to use --force to install via ppm ?
This is generally necessary because most of the sisyphusion ppm packages contain one of the 3 dll's mentioned in question 2."

Saved me. Also the post about force, thanks
ReplyDeleteIf you have no idea what you're doing and get "ppm command not found" then change directory first to C:\Perl64\bin
